LOOKING FOR A GOOD ALLIGNMENT SHOP IN WESTMINSTER/HUNTINGTON BEACH AREA

Several folks will probably say to do it yourself after the lift is installed. There are a few different ways, but I think the most common is to use a tape measure, pick a spot on the front and rear of each tire. You will need to mark the spot somehow, so you can get as close as possible each time. Take a measurement at the front of the tires and then at the rear of the tires. They should be about equal. Turn your tie-rod to to get the tires to move in the direction you need. Some folks may say that you will want the front tire measurement about 1/4 inch smaller than the rear measurement.
When done, tighten your tierod adj bolts....

Now I may have missed a step or some important stuff. I am sure someone will correct me, but this will get you by.

Good luck!

yeah

just do the tape measure

Don't waste your $$$

Keep in mind when your suspension 'settles' your alignment will be off (again).

done mine a few times.......1/4 inch is to much toe in for my heep on pavement I had bad tire scrubbing in turns, re set to 1/8 and it handled better and steering was friendlier.

after spending my weekend doing the lift solo... I am really not in a hurry to crawl back under it.... In case anybody was interested Dave's Allignment in HB will do it for $50 as long as it does not have a long arm kit... everybody else wanted $100 as soon as I told them it was lifted

I've used the method in Marcus' write up: http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm to set both caster and toe with excellent results. If they're charging you $50-$100 just to set toe, that's outrageous--------Hans

dude, come over today and I will align it for you...

PM me

Cal , is goint to do it tomorrow... I was reading up on it last night and it looks simple enough... but that was what I thought about doing the lift....two days later and only the front it done....
